'What Love Can Do', Bruce Springsteen premieres

A very nice setlist by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Philadelphia's Spectrum on Wednesday night. Highlights include the world premiere of "What Love Can Do" from the "Working on a Dream" album and "Outlaw Pete" was given a much needed rest for the first time this tour. Bruce opened the show with "Thundercrack" a fan favorite from the early 1970s and perfect for a Philadelphia crowd. The entire "Darkness on the Edge of Town" album was played for only the second time this tour, and so far no other dates have been scheduled for a full playing of this classic 1978 record. Also nice to see "Human Touch" back in the setlist, he played it at the Oct. 8 Giants Stadium show. Before the final song, "Rosalita," Curt Ramm played "Gonna Fly Now" - the theme from "Rocky" - on the trumpet.

Show began at 8:31 p.m.

Patti Scialfa was there and Max Weinberg played the entire show.

Bruce Springsteen to continue exploring classic albums in concert

It was just a week ago that we raved here on Pop & Hiss at the spectacle that was the Bruce Springsteen gig at Chicago's United Center. A three hour epic rock concert with a tasty nugget lodged in the middle: a complete performance of the 1975 classic "Born To Run".
After the gig, many in attendance, including yours truly, stratified the concert as their favorite from Springsteen. Apparently The Boss agreed.

Today Springsteen's team announced that the five upcoming Giants Stadium gigs will each contain similar tasty nuggets, that is if you are fans of "Darkness on the Edge of Town", "Born in the USA" and the aforementioned "Born To Run". Sorry, "Nebraska" fans, maybe next tour.
Playing an entire album in its entirety is nothing new for current rock tours. Recently Steely Dan performed three of their classic albums at the Gibson, Nine Inch Nails blazed through "The Downward Spiral" at the Hollywood Palladium, and in November Devo and The Pixies will come to L.A. to perform some of their finest albums in their entirety.
Longtime Springsteen manager Jon Landau explained, "Chicago convinced us that this was actually worth doing. The audience was so supportive of the concept that it convinced us to go ahead with this at Giants Stadium."
Complete schedule of the Jersey shows:

Sept. 30: "Born To Run"

Oct. 2: "Darkness on the Edge of Town"

Oct. 3: "Born In The USA"

Oct. 8: "Born To Run"

Oct. 9: "Born In The USA"
